Monday Night Football Best Bets Week 5

The Chiefs and the Saints square off on Monday Night Football in an inter-conference showdown. Just a couple of short weeks ago, the Saints looked like world-beaters, but after two straight losses, they are trying to regain their footing and re-establish themselves as contenders in the NFC South. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are 4-0, but you wouldn't be able to tell it by the sentiment around the team. They have lost 3 of their top playmakers early in the season, in Hollywood Brown, Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice and it's left people wondering where the offense will come from. Despite all that, they continue to win. Will it continue on Monday Night? Here are our top 3 picks for the game.

1. Travis Kelce Over 57.5 Receiving Yards: Through 4 weeks of the season, Kelce is pulling in a 20 percent target share for the Chiefs. It's not awful, but it would seem that number will have to go up in the absence of Rashee Rice. Rice did not play most of the game against the Chargers and Kelce hauled in 7 of 9 targets for 89 yards. The Chiefs are likely to try to get him involved early and often in this one, so our play is the over on Kelce's receiving yards tonight.

2. Alvin Kamara Under 66.5 Rushing Yards: The Chiefs rush defense has been stout this year allowing juste 3.8 yards per carry on the season, which is 4th best in the league. Kamara is known for his explosive plays, but they are more likely to come in the passing game. The Chiefs have required teams to beat them through the air this season and we think that continues tonight with Kamara going under his rushing total.

3. Chiefs Cover -5.5 vs. Saints: The Chiefs have won 10 games in a row and it's not an accident. Despite the offense looking pedestrian at times, the Chiefs haven't given up 30 points in a game since since Super Bowl 57. They've mastered late game management and seem to come away with the victory when you least expect it. We're expecting a reasonably close game, but think the Chiefs will win by a touchdown in this one.
